Coming on July 22nd, 2012
This week we feature a mention for the BD5 it is an aeroplane with huge looks, massive personality, James Bond pedigree and yet extremely rare when it comes to flying examples. Designed in the early 1970’s as a personal homebuilt ‘mini jet’, kits were sold all around the world. However, problems, mainly to do with suitable power-plants, meant that the factory producing the parts went bankrupt and only a handful actually ever flew. Howard Cox’s example of the Jim Bede design has been over 30 years in the making; lesser mortals (like most of the 5000-odd others who bought kits) would have given up years ago, but Howard, a talented aircraft engineer, stuck with it and now has a huge slice of homebuilt history to show for his efforts .... The aircraft making its debut in July's display is one of two BD5s currently flying in Europe; ( the other is based in Austria ) it is one of a number of homebuilt aircraft that operate under the Irish Light Aircraft Society’s permit to fly scheme with special authorisation to take part in the Bray Display this year. and we welcome Howard to Bray 2012...
